    Considering it's emulating the code, not directly running it that's not bad.

    My M1 MBP gets about 80% CPU usage trying to run an old ass version of world of warcraft in a VM. GPU usage is high, but it definitely is choking on the CPU side of things more than GPU, and I assume this is going to be the same bottleneck.

    Just know that higher RPM doesn't necessarily mean higher noise. In my experience Helium filled drives can be pretty quiet, and basically all really high capacity drives are helium filled.

    I have an arm of shucked WD drives and while I can hear them from time to time, they're not bad. Also your case makes a huge difference. Make sure the drives are on rubber isolators, and what they're mounted on can't vibrate to make any noise. The only noise I hear from these drives is when they first spin up after being idled.

    Is 5640 RPM acceptable? WD reds are all about 5400rpm and are basically the gold standard for NAS HDDs.

    You can shuck them out of WD easy store drives sold at best buy. They're white label drives from WD, but they're all based on the red/red pro drives.

    It's not like the frame rate was bad though. Like the video was updating, it was just the scrolling that was jumping. It made 0 science to me how just the scrolling was lagging but not the frame rate. Grated 60fps on a 4090 is abysmal, and this was only a month or two ago.

    Odds are your Linux install overwrote OCLP. You'd need to install OCLP again and configure it to boot from either Mac OS or your Linux install.

    And with GPT partition you can have 128 partitions so ~120 different OSes easily on a single drive.

    Windows has a lovely “feature” where it installs the bootloader on a secondary drive if there’s one connected. It doesn’t install it on drive 1 and drive 2, just drive 2. I always disconnect all secondary drives before installing windows for this very reason.

    That said you can configure the windows bootloader to recognize your Linux (or grub) and just use that to manage booting two OSes and it’s less likely to not destroy things.

    They're crossovers because it's the current fad. The model S and model 3 have figured it out, and a sedan is a more aerodynamic shape than a crossover so you need less battery to go as far.

    Does anyone have a copy of the original Windows 7 recovery media for the X1 Carbon Gen 2? I can find gen 1, and most other later gens. But not this machine. Currently it's running it's factory install, but it's horrendously slow and I'm not fully sure why. And sadly the built in create recovery media option says there's nothing to be found. Does anyone else have any experience with these machines? Were their SSDs always so horribly slow? 550mbps read is good, but 100mbps writes is bad even by 2013 standards. The touchbar takes what feels like ages to respond, and with age has discolored in a really gross way. Overall it seems like a pretty well built machine. But man, what was Lenovo thinking?

    I have a BASE model T14 gen 1 (1366x768 screen, lowest end i5, base ssd etc) and I was wanting to eek out a bit more performance out of this machine. It's quite thermally constrained with longer loads despite being the base model, and it's fan seems to barely move any air at all. I know along with other T series you can install the heatsink from the higher end models with dGPUs and get much better cooling. Has anyone here done the same and can report back on performance differences? Part No 5H40W36701 is the heatsink I have. Part No 5H40W36700 appears to be the model for the dGPU macines. Lenovo lists it as $61.16 for this part, but ebay has them for a little over $30. So the next question is it enough of a difference to justify it?

    2.5g capable SFP+ switch or media converters

    Is anyone aware of any switches (or media converters) with SFP+ ports capable of negotiating 2.5Gbit speeds that don't cost an arm and a leg? I have the Google Fiber 2 gig plan and I'd like to get rid of the fiber box since they've been extremely unreliable and our 4th one has just died. Unfortunately in order to get the full speeds I need something that can take a 2.5 gig SFP+ connection. 10 gig will not work, and 1 gig obviously only gets me half the speed. I've found[ a few Unifi compatible switches,](https://community.ui.com/questions/Google-Fiber-2g-directly-connected-to-my-Unifi-UDM-Pro-No-Google-router-required-/3d0fbad3-7041-4a1f-af18-79026884f8f0?page=2) but they're between $600 and $900 which is just insane for all we need. Media converter wise everything I've found is 2.5gig on the rj45 side and 10 gig only on the SFP. Something has to exist out there right? It can't only be Google who are the freaks using 2.5 gig SFP modules.

Windows 10 had a nice slider when you click the battery icon, but that's missing from 11 and you have to click a few more buttons to change it. When I look up how to change the power mode everything is talking about using the legacy power plans found in control panel, but the power mode doesn't stick with the power plan, and I'm looking to automate changing that via a script.
